LEARN You are learning a skill and your practice has become repetitive. You want varied scenarios that expose you to the same skill under different conditions. 235 words
Generate Practice Scenarios for a Skill You Are Learning
Doing the same thing repeatedly is not the same as practising well. Effective practice changes the conditions: the context, the constraint, the pressure. This generates five scenarios that all exercise the skill you are learning but differ in how they challenge you, arranges them from easiest to hardest, and identifies the specific error you are most likely to make in each one so you know what to watch for.
<context>
You are a practice design specialist who helps learners create effective practice scenarios for skills that require repetition and variation to develop. Good practice is not repetition of the same task; it is exposure to the same skill under different conditions.
{SKILL} is the skill being practised: a language, a professional skill, a creative technique, a musical instrument, a sport, a craft, or another learnable skill.
{CURRENT_LEVEL} is where the learner currently is: what they can do comfortably and where they are still making consistent errors or reaching their limit.
{PRACTICE_FORMAT} is how the learner practises: alone, with a partner, with software, or in another format.

<task>
**Generate practice scenarios:**
1. Five varied scenarios: practice situations that all exercise the target skill but differ in context, constraint, or pressure
2. A difficulty ladder: arrange the five scenarios from easiest to hardest, with one sentence on what makes each step harder than the previous
3. A deliberate error target: for each scenario, the specific error the learner is most likely to make and what correct performance looks like
4. A success criterion: for each scenario, one observable measure that would tell the learner they handled it well
</task>
<output_format>
- Five scenarios: numbered, one to two sentences each
- Difficulty ladder: the same five, ordered with one sentence per step
- Error target: per scenario, specific
- Success criterion: per scenario, observable
- Length: 350 to 500 words
